EVANS & CONWELL.
Their Fine Display of Furnishing
Goods.

On the main floor of the Pavilion to
the right OF the entrance is the display
of Evans & Conwell, the shirt makers
and haberdasers. This firm, which is
composed OF Evan E. Evans and J. ".
Conwell, has been in business in Los
Angeles at 251 North Main street, less
than two years, yet they occupy an
enviable position in their line and en-
joy the reputation of havingthe finest,
largest and most complete stock
of any house on the coast,
not excepting San Francisco.
The display at the fair is indeed a
unique one and has received much
attention from the visitors. The firm
has recently opened a shirt factory
and employs two expert cutters. One
of their specialties is their line of
gents holiday goods which comprise
silks, hand embroidered night robes,
smoking jackets, gowns, etc. All
their goods are of the best and are
sold as low as honest business prin-
Clip es will permit. Mr.. Evans or Mr..
Conwell take trip east every six
months and buy in the eastern mar
kets as soon as the styles
are commenced. They have
the exclusive use of certain silks
and shapes and thus they
are enabled to keep the latest styles
before the public and have them for
sale simultaneously with the Eastern
retail stores. The phenomenal increase
in the business during their establish
ment is the best tribute to their popu-
laritY.

Among the finest and fastest dis
plays in all the exhibition was that of

handsomely bronze show case, fifteen
feet wide and ten feet high, was neatly
and tastefully filed with elegant styles

placed with new pair Hundreds of
our leading citizens use these makes
of fine shoes to their complete satisfac
ton.

Which Attracted Attention.

Which Attracted Attention.
One of the most striking exhibit
tions at the fair during the week has
been that of Mr.. Myron F. Tarble
near the stage at the left of the hall.
One of the features of the display was
an artificial horse hitched to two
wheel wagon which was such SO de-
ceptive that many on entering were
all first led to believe that it was a
natural horse. This part of Mr.. Tar
ble's display was more to show the
neatness of his harness and
buggies and in this he has
succeeded admirably. Mr.. Tarble has
been one of the enthusiastic support
ers of the fair and his display was
most creditable one, and was
awarded fine medal by the commit

DAILY HERALD.
THE PAVILION.
Magnificent Display of the
Merchants.
NOT TO BE EXCELLED.
An Idea of What Can be obtained
In this City and
County.

One of the most prominent exhibits
at the Fair last week was that of the
Fredericksburg Brewing Company,
which occupied the center of the Pa
vilion, and by its unusual magnitude
attracted much attention. A MAN.
moth beer bottle formed the distinc-
tive feature Of the display, AND around
it was arranged in a square a number
of bottles in terraces and number of
ornamental beer kegs.
Among the many industries of Cali
fornia this institution occupies a
prominent place and bears wide
reputation for the excellent quality Of
beverages manufactured. The Freder-
leksburg lager beer is one of the most
prominent articles Of consumption and
export and is eagerly sought by all
capable OF judging Of the nature of
really excellent beverage. 1t is to be
found in every frst-class saloon and
will be found in many Of the finest
residences, which is natural. for as a
healthy beverage it has no superior.
1t is a genuine pure article and the
Ingredients used in its manufacture
are all the best to be had, in conse-
ouence of which an article is manu-
featured which attains to a high de-
gree Of merit, and compares very fa-
yorably with other and celebrated
makes OF foreign manufacture.
The brewery itself is situated in San
Jose, where it forms the most conspic
uous mandatory of that section. 1t
is Just now enjoying large and con-
stantly increasing trade and at the
present rate is destined in the near
future to become the leading brewery
of Southern California. Its products
are now to be found in all parts of the
West and South and are rapidly being
introduced into the East, competing
with those of more pretentious con-
temporaries.
The brewery is now manufacturing
an] bottling the celebrated Pilsener,
CMmbacher and Rheingold export
dagger beers, which have met with such
an enthusiastic reception from the
public. 1t is shipped to every point
on the Pacific Coast, and of late the
increased orders have necessitated the
erection of more buildings, by which
the capacity of the brewery is doubled.
But few years since and a thousand
barrels comprised it's yearly sales, and
now the output is over $4,000 barrels
ger annum.

UNI for best display of furniture. This
company during its brief existence in
this city has grown marvelously and
is now recognized as one OF the lead
ing business corporations of this city.
1t requires small army OF
assistants to conduct the business and
nothing but the most approved makes
OF furniture is handled by it. The
company is also manufacturer in a
small way and had on exhibition
several pieces of its own make
which compared quite favorably with
that OF foreign manufacture.
The beautiful drapery so artistically
hung and admirably displayed is
something of which the company
make specially, and the degree OF
perfection which has been attained is
very creditable.
The company is just now experienc-
ing material increase in trade which
is invariable at this season of the
year, when it always assumes enorm-
GUS proportions, trade being COM
manded from all parts OF the sur
rounding country.
1 4llC lDRldN dp tliC AetlA WheAe AO%O-
ence to the arrangement OF its details
reflected great credit upon the exhib-
itors and proved indeed the
center of attraction, especially to
the ladies who passed many
encomiums upon the manner in
which the display was arranged. The
display consisted for the most part OF
complete sets of parlor and bedroom
furniture, sofa chairs, sideboards,
dressing cases, handsomely carved
stands of unique design, rugs, carpets,
etc.
Just now immense importations Of
carpets, mattings and other floor COW
erings are being daily received to
supply the large and constantly
growing demand for these articles.
The foreign trade of the company is
materially increasing, which evidences
the fact that efforts to put first class
furniture upon the market at reasona-
BILE prices is appreciated in Los An
geles.

HIS "MA."
Why Case Was Continued i'm
the Justice Court.

"Where is the Judge" asked de-
moralized specimen of humanity yes
terday afternoon as he stumbled into
Justice Taney's court, falling over two
chairs and table which happened in
his way, but finally bringing up safe :
ly in the row of seats reserved express
ly for criminals.
The question was addressed to his
Honor himself, who sat serenely puff
fling cigar, his feet elevated at a
most inconvenient angle, and calmly
engaged in conversation with several
deputy Constables who had "just re-
turned from the chase"
what do you want of the Judge ?''
replied his Honor, who seemed in
clined to avail himself of the ignor-
ance Of the questioner, with the evil
dent intention of unearthing some
thing which might possibly test the
risibles of those present.
The stranger seemed somewhat
disconnected and ill-at-ease, and not
replying to the qsestion was told by
a Deputy Constable present that he
was addressing the person whom he
sought when he said. 81 wish to have
my case continued"
why, what is the matter with
your case?" replied The Judge, VIII
did not recognize in the stranger an
old inhabitant of the County Jail.
"Why," continued the searcher
after legal clemency, 'I have heard
from my ma, and if you will continue
my case for eight or ter days, | can
furnish evidence which will clear
me-"
This declaration only had the effect
of evoking hearty laugh from those
present, but the strange individual
was not to be put off and pleaded his
cause so eloquently, that he was
granted a continuance.
In commenting upon it the Judge
said: "We always give them all the
chance possible, and they usually have
a thousand and one reasons for want
ing continuance. Sometimes thew
are unable to procure counsel or wit
ness by the time their case is set for
trial. but the excuse offered bv this
one is unique indeed, which is about
why his request was granted,

THE BOSTON STORE.
The Splendid Display of J. w.
Robinson.

The Boston Dry Goods Store at 125
and 127 North Spring street had dis
play on the main floor of the pavilion
which was indeed creditable to the
house, to say the least. The Boston
Store, which is one of the oldest in
Los Angeles, was established by
Joseph w. Robinson, and to-day it is
the largest dry goods house in South
ern California and as fully equipped
as any of the San Francisco houses.
The exhibition of Mr.. Robinson's
wares occupied conspicuous position
ON the left on the main hall and was
very neatly and artistically arranged.
The goods display to the eye of the
many patrons of the fair were of the
very finest kind in their line and was
indeed good advertisement for the
Boston store. The line of dress goods,
plain and fancy goods, patterns and
combination suits were novel
and unique and were appreciated
by the ladies. Again there were
beautifully painted fans of different
shapes and sizes, and lastly, was a
splendid display of cosy looking chill
dren's cloaks and plush caps made up
in the latest styles. Mr.. Robinson's
display was indeed meritorious one,
and as it only showed a few of the
many articles which comprises his
stock, an idea of the magnitude of it
can be gained. The Boston store is a
model dry goods emporium, and does
wholesale, as well as retail busi-
ness, the wholesale department being
in large and commodious store on
Temple street, near Spring. Mr.. Rob
inson Imports all his own goods, and
has men in New York and Chicago
who act as buyers, and send out all
the latest goods as soon as they are in
troduced in the wholesale markets in
the East. At present Mr.. Robinson
has seventy-fve clerks, ladies and
gentlemen, who are absolutely honest
in their representations to customers,
and are not allowed to make the
slightest overcharge.
